All Belgium elections

1910 Belgian General Election

22 May 1910 · Plural voting · 87 seats

Liberal Adolphe May defeated Catholic Emile de Lalieux de La Rocq in Nivelles and the socialist Joseph Bologne defeated liberal Léopold Gillard in Namur. All other representatives were either re-elected, or succeeded by candidates of the same party.

Universal male suffrage weighted by plural voting: wealthier and propertied men cast two or three votes each, which manufactured the Catholic majorities of this era.
